Con report of absurd length

[danceswithwords]

Happy (belated) birthday, dtissagirl!

I am beyond behind in posting about (or, for that matter, watching) TV, and RL has been rather frantic since I got back, but I wanted to write the con up while I still remembered it. And while LJ is still up! (Although there's every reason to believe this move will be much smoother, wasn't the great blackout of ought

*Awesome* con report. Thank you!

I suspect I know at least a couple of those folks in Mambo shirts.

Nice view!

I would be shocked if you didn't.

I can't believe I'm just seeing this now (also not quite sure how I finally found it). And oh lordy, if we ever thought Ricky was collecting a harem, here's the proof :)

I didn't even get a picture of his single white female the guy who was dressed exactly like him, down to the bald cap and ponytail.

You beat me to it! I chose to be selfish and catch up on TV. The plan is to start doing my write up tomorrow. My report won't be nearly as detailed as yours. How do you remember so much?!?!?

[danceswithwords]

I have not caught up on anything except 30 Rock, which I don't actually post about. (Sleep crime! Best. Side. Effect. Ever.) Maybe next weekend...

As for how I remember so much, it's obviously taking up space I could use to, like, remember medical appointments and that I need to get my kitchen light fixture fixed. You know, the trivial stuff.

It's not quite true Farscape hasn't shown in Australia. Some episodes were shown, at crazy and random (and constantly changing) times in Australia during 2000. I was only trying to follow the show because they'd filmed the on-location bits of an episode or two near where I worked in November 1999, and we'd asked around to find out what was being filmed (quite a few ads were done there, but they didn't take as long, or have as interesting extras wandering around). Some googling then established that this "Farscape" thing was a sf TV show being broadcast in the US, and possibly showing in Oz in future, so when it did come up, I had some idea what it was

I knew bits of it had aired there (wasn't it called Far Horizons at one point?), but she made it sound like it's getting an actual run now.

In general, the rights for the show seem to be a mess. SciFi had them forever, and wouldn't rerun it at all after a certain point, just sat on it for a couple of years. Then it went into syndication in the US and, to put it bluntly, it is not a good candidate for casual viewing in syndication; my TiVO picked up a few out-of-order episodes, and it seems like it sank without a trace after a few months. The DVDs have sold out; as far as I know, ADV doesn't have the right to make more, and nobody else is doing it either. Bizarre.

PDX's friend is fallinangelz21, who took part in a fun and lively conversation at our end of the table about the varied qualities of Dean and Sam Winchester, the hotness of John Crichton and how Ben Browder should be on SPN as a Harley-riding cousin. *g*

Aha! Thank you.

You rock muchly! Thanks for taking the time to write all this up! I do wish I'd been able to go hang out with y'all; maybe one of these days. :)

There's always Dragon*Con, if your schedule and finances permit. It would be great to see you again; hanging out with fans is always a good time.
